    I’d have to leave it in the museum, because I couldn’t resist to ride it. That would be sad to mess anything up on this piece. Never had one, never got to ride one, but it’s still beautiful!

    Kaplan, my friend, I have been checking daily for more videos. So nice to see. Ironically, my dad and I spent the day going over my 1980 can am mx6 400B. We are also building a 1980 Can Am Qualifier 250. Thank you again. Nice bike. Happy to be able to see your content here in Nova Scotia. I bought a new 2024 txt250gp gasgas trials bike. Would love to visit your dealership and see the museum sometime.

    The Up Pipe was a No Brainer for me, I grew up riding bike from the late 80'-90's! My Dad bought an old 400 Suzuki widow maker when I was 15, got it running and it Smoked my 84" Can- Am MX 250 dirt bike!! Back to the point, the under frame Exhaust looked dumb to me at 15yrs Old! Like what happens if You Case a jump?! 😮😱🤯

    This man has one of the best jobs I've seen. I bet he doesn't even consider what he does, a job. As I putt around on my XR650L I remember back to some of these great machines and I've seen a few of them on this channel recently. Can Am, Hodaka, Ossa, Bultaco, Maico, CZ, Montesa, Harley Davidson Baja 100 (won't mention the other Eyetalian made 2 strokes)and so many more to remember. Truly an outstanding channel! I was a Harley mechanic for a bunch of years and was there when Willie G took back over from AMF. Try to find an original Harley Sturgis I uncrated, set up and rode one of the first ones in Pennsylvania.

    The 1977 had 30 hp at I believe was 3,500 RPM.
    Whereas the 1977 250 had 32 HP @3,000 RPM.
    The slogan was The 1977 Can -Am 175 MX-3 that thinks it is a 250!
